    That would be a wee bit laggy, as Pavel has made it very clear that he
    will not be doing anything about this as it is not a server bug.
    The best solution is that if a site develops this problem is to monitor
    evals with out informing people. True people could use self deleting
    verbs, but in sever cases security could be tightened (might be difficult
    in a site as big as Lambda but hey).
